I responded. Response must have gotten lost, I'm not sure I saw it on
the list.

for pgsql, I assume /usr/lig/postgresql is a typo. I redhat, you need
the postgresql-devel package. Is there an anologous debian package? Is
it installed? 

If you need to install that, do a mkes distclean to clear your autoconf
cache and retry. If that doesn't help, can you provide:

1) a listing of the directory /usr/lib/postgresql (not all users will
know the debian file layout).

2) the part of the configure output that refernces postgresql.

As for radius, IIRC the file INSTALL has a reference to the radius
client libs that you need to install. (the URL might even be in the
configure output). You do not need to install a radius server on the
nagios box, nor would it help.
